We're just days away from finally seeing Kiernan Shipka become Sabrina, and as she shared in a new interview, the Netflix role required some transformation.

Kiernan already detailed how her new role impacted her skin and her potential future as a cat owner, but the magical job had made a difference on her hair, too. In an interview with Glamour, the former Mad Men star explained that she had been a brunette at the time of auditioning for the role.

"I had long, dark brown hair during my first audition and was really just living my best life," she told Glamour. "I've always been blond, so it was like, 'I'm free from the blond hair!' I figured if I got the role, I'd probably have to dye it, which was fine, but after my audition they were like, 'We gotta have you audition again, and we think you need blond hair for it.'" Kiernan just couldn't pass up the chance to be Sabrina and dyed her hair for the next round, acknowledging that she thought, "I'll have blond hair for a bit and that's fine."

Along with a change in color, the actor also had to get a new hairstyle. In order to get Sabrina's signature bob, Kiernan got a haircut. She may have had to bid farewell to her long locks, but the actor took it all in stride. "This is one of those industries where you never have full control of your hair," she said. "But the bob is 100 percent my jam. I love it." And the best part? She doesn't even need any magic to accomplish her beauty routine. "It's so low-maintenance. It takes two seconds to do my hair."
